OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the biofilm-forming ability, molecular typing, and antimicrobial resistance of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains isolated from the respiratory tract of children and their correlation with clinical characteristics.
METHODS: All CA-MRSA strains were isolated from hospitalized children, and their presentation, molecular typing, antimicrobial susceptibility, and biofilm formation were investigated. The clinical characteristics were compared between the strong and weak biofilm producer groups.
RESULTS: Fifty-three CA-MRSA strains were isolated from the respiratory samples of 53 children, with nearly half of them being young infants (0-12 months). Approximately, 88.7% (47/53) of the isolates were resistant to four or more antibiotics, mainly β-lactam antibiotics, lincosamides, and macrolides. Twelve sequence types (STs) and 20 subtypes of staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing were identified, with ST59-t437 (39.6%, 21/53) as the predominant subtype. All strains showed the ability to form biofilms. When compared to children with weak biofilm-forming CA-MRSA strains, those with strong biofilm-forming strains had higher proportions of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) (88.5% vs 59.3%), obvious cough symptoms (84.6% vs 51.9%), and severe chest imaging manifestations (76.9% vs 37.0%). Furthermore, a strong biofilm-forming ability significantly increased the risk of prolonged cough in children with LRTI (44.4% vs 14.3%), and a positive correlation between the duration of cough and the extent of biofilm formation was observed. Medical history investigation revealed that the strong biofilm-forming group had a much higher percentage of macrolides intake than the weak biofilm-forming group in the last month before admission (61.5% vs 14.8%).
CONCLUSION: ST59-t437 was the most prevalent clone in CA-MRSA respiratory isolates among the hospitalized children. All CA-MRSA strains formed biofilms. The stronger the biofilm-forming ability, the more serious and prolonged were the respiratory symptoms.
